Description
This three-staged memory game invites you to observe masterpieces closely. Historically, a masterpiece was a work of a very high standard, produced in order to obtain membership of a guild or academy. Since the author never went to art school, her untrained eye wondered: “How should I look at art in order to fully appreciate it?”
Trying to answer this question, she decided to design a system of observation based on different steps: games and activities following a set scheme that triggers the player to look at a masterpiece on a different scale.
Pixel-Art Game allows you to zoom into these Dutch Masterpieces. Match the original image with its pixelized copies by zooming into Van Goghs famous CafĂ© Terrace at Night. The painter’s colour and light use is emphasised through the pixels of the digitalized image, taking art into our contemporary digital language.
With a light packaging, perfect to take along with you, Pixel-Art Game offers several games in one set. Each of these 3 games is a step to understand the artwork better, playing together with multiple players. Game 1 is the Puzzle, Game 2 offers a Pixelized Puzzle, and Game 3 is the memory game.
